    Dreams Il Mare is our new favourite.

    My wife and I stayed at the Dreams Il Mare (Adults only) side of the resort, for two weeks in February 2026. We had bungalow # 5, near the east beach and with a sunset view. We couldn't be any happier with our beach front room. The views and beach accessibility can not be beat. The room was very well set up and the king bed and pillows were very comfortable. We don't drink and emailed a request ahead of our arrival for none alcoholic beers and soda water for the mini bar. The fridge was stacked accordingly every day. On request from our amazing butler Shakeil, a bucket of Heineken Zero's on ice would be delivered to our beach chairs. The great butters also took care of breakfast delivery to our room, all dinner reservations, car reservations, and any other requests that we had. Thanks again to our great butlers Shakiel, Shenny, and Manager Leon. The restaurants we ate at were, Battalino's, Oceanic, Portofino, Craft ( Seaside Grill), CoCo Cafe, and Blooms and Botanical at Zoetry. These restaurants were all quite good. However we didn't like the Barefoot Grill or the Dreams buffet. After two weeks of eating at these restaurants we tried everything on the menus at least once. I used the CoCo Cafe every morning for Scuba snacks like crab sandwiches, fruit, and yogurt. They also have ice cream, pastries, and specialty coffees, that we had more than our share of every day. The maid service was always good, and it helps to know a bit of Spanish to be able to communicate with the maids. Small tips like 5.00 USD every couple days goes a long ways to making the maids happy and does get little perks like extra coffee pods and towels. There is a Scuba diving shop on resort called Goby Scuba. They also have the main shop on the neighbouring Marriott resort on the east side. I used the Marriott shop, since it was a very short walk from our bungalow. The dive boat was 300' from our room. The diving at Curacao is very good, and the water is warm 27c with 100' plus visibility. Snorkelling the house reef is also top notch with plenty of fish and coral to see. There is entertainment on most evenings. We did really enjoy the fire dancers, and the Carnaval dancers and drummers. There was also a saxophone soloist that played at Battalino's and the Zoetry for evening dinners. The pools, beaches, and views on the resort were all top notch. We are more beach people and never sat at the pools very much. But the two infinity pools were very popular. Drinks are not delivered to the pools or beaches unless you have butler service. But the bars are on location and very handy. We don't drink, but from what we saw and heard the drinks were all very good. There is top notch liquor in the Preferred Club bar and the Bar Blu ( Il Mare side). There is a casino on site. We don't gamble but we did walk through it a couple of times. There are lots of VLT's, card tables, roulette, sports betting, and horse racing. The ATM machine is in the casino, and gives USD and Gilder. We did not view the Dreams hotel rooms, and can't comment on them. There is also a spa on site that we did not use. If you want to stay at this Dreams resort we highly recommend staying at the Il Mare (Adults Only) side of the resort.

    THIS IS NOT DREAMS QUALITY

    If this would have been my first experience in a Dreams I would have never become an Unlimited Vacation member! This hotel is a disgrace for the brand Dreams and Unlimited Vacation. The rooms should be a 2 star hotel, the food is the worst Inhave had in a long time and the housekeeping absolutely terrible! How is it possible that being a Preferred member my room was cleaned at 4 pm and when I got in there were no towels!!!! Oh!.and the night we arrived there was no shower gel or shampoo . The bathroom .... well I wil post the pictures. This hotel needs urgent and deep renovation. The food? How can be bad food in Curacao? This beautiful island has amazing food everywhere you go! Except in Dreams. Terrible in the buffet and terrible at the restaurants. The only good thing I can say is that the people are great. They did their best to help and made feel appreciated but there is so much they can do. SUGGESTIONS: renovate rooms and bathrooms, hallways etc. And hire good chefs and change the managers in charge of housekeeping.

    Not what I expected as a Preferred Member of UVC.

    Room was not set up for us, had a running toilet, flood in bathroom when showering, no remote, no hairdryer. City View was a view of roof tops. Yuck. Food was okay at buffet, good at Italian restaurant, horrible otherwise. Beach was beautiful as was pool. Spa treatment was great. Snorkling was great. Maid service was great.

    We discovered an island that is worth visiting, great snorkelling.

    Premium location for casual snorkelling in marvellous environment, just at the beach. Temperature on island is perfect and very predictable, 25C at night, 30C during the day, barely never rain. It did not rain for the whole week, and that seems to be normal. The 30C was not as humid as you can find in other locations like Mexico so are not constantly feeling at wet. Island is very safe. Capital is charming, really worth going visiting. That said, more expensive than average as a result of being an Island where everything need to be imported. Locals are very respectful and will not insist when you say no. We discovered an island that is worth visiting.
